<div dir="ltr">I appreciate the thoughtfulness on this. It is important to think about what we call it. I am a big fan of just calling it what it is - "Books with no sex, swearing, or drug use." Titles like "Clean reads" others all other books as dirty.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 5, 2019 at 2:09 PM April Witteveen <<a href="mailto:aprilw@dpls.lib.or.us">aprilw@dpls.lib.or.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are considering our teen bibliography that’s historically been called Clean Teen Reads or Clean Reads. These are books without sex, minimal violence, swearing, etc. Do you have a similar list with a different name? We are curious about
how teens respond to a list with a title like this…we know we get a lot of parents who are looking for clean reads for their kids, so the language works for them…but for teens?<u></u><u></u></p>
